The new novel from Salley Vickers, Sunday Times bestselling author
of The Librarian, available for pre-order now Grandmothers is the
story of three very different women and their relationship with the
younger generation: fiercely independent Nan, who leads a secret
life as an award-winning poet when she is not teaching her grandson
Billy how to lie; glamorous Blanche, deprived of the company of her
beloved granddaughter Kitty by her hostile daughter-in-law, who
finds solace in rebelliously taking to drink and shop lifting; and
shy, bookish Minna who in the safety of shepherd's hut shares with
her surrogate granddaughter Rose her passion for reading. The
outlook of all three women subtly alters when through their
encounters with each other they discover that the past is always
with us and that we go on learning and changing until the very end.
Grandmothers is a beautifully observed, sometimes subversive, often
tender and elegiac novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author
of The Librarian. 'Vickers sees with a clear eye and writes with a
light hand. She's a presence worth cherishing in the ranks of
modern novelists.' Philip Pullman 'Vickers has a formidable knack
for laying open the human heart' Sunday Times
